Maybe a long shot, but.....


Does anyone have a photo of a Griff interior with green carpets and a cream interior???

This winter I am going to replace the Griff carpets and am toying with the idea of changing the carpets from "wheat" to a dark green.

Everyone's tastes are different mine had a light green interior that had faded and so decided to replace the carpets the colour of my car is Halcyon atlantis which is a blue/green colour. This is the only photo I can find of it.



I personally didn't like it and after a year I changed it again to this, Dark green for me just didn'y work with my colour combination. I also changed the colour of the leather to a more creamy colour




Bit of an expensive mistake so make sure you look at plenty of different cars and interiors before taking the plunge.

Ant - mine is cooper green with dark green carpets, (fern?) and cream edging (seats and dash in biscuit leather), but the carpets are pretty faded in places and when I lifted the overmats out to clean them I found bare fibreglass underneath!!

As a result I'm too ashamed to post any pics but, from a distance, if you squint a bit, the colour combo looks great!

My fault for not checking properly before I bought, but was more concerned about chassis (solid enough), flickering battery light, (new alternator) and worryingly low oil pressure (new sender and some fettling of the wiring laugh

I think new carpets will be on my list sometime soon, but I'd be really interested to see how you get on. I'd be interested in peoples thoughts on;

1. DIY fitting - consensus seems to be relatively easy but time consuming/fiddly
2. Polypropelene carpets vs wool (Polyprop cheaper and more durable, wool opposite to this but much nicer feel)
3. Door cards - undecided as to whether or not I like carpet up the doors, but I definitely don't want carbon or other smooth surface.

Haven't seen any nice leather trimmed door cards but I'm sure plenty have gone down this route..?

...my shameful interior...

The bits of carpet out of the sun are a really dark green.

IMHO, it is best to avoid light colours for the dash top...they reflect in the windscreen and I personally find it distracting...

This is the interior of my Griff and it is unadulterated and all original. smile



I realise you would like a green combination...but I guess the same choices apply. I tried to make sure the "rub areas" were dark, so they did not look dirty and the seats light, to lighten the interior and to be cool when the car is parked in direct sunshine.

Good luck!

Must say that this isn't the case, I have a light cream dash and even in bright sunshine have never noticed a problem.

Agree - I haven't had a problem with reflections from the dash top, but...

...my tyres are so bad at the moment I spend as much time looking out of the side windows as the windscreen...

Jesus. It's not that big a surprise that Christopher Biggins drove a Chim.
